The
main presentation this month at UVTAGG is by Ben Baker on FAMILYSEARCH
INSIDER TIPS AND TRICKS. There are many powerful tools available on
FamilySearch.org that are not well-documented in manuals nor easily
discovered in the products themselves. This presentation will help you
learn some tips and tricks from a FamilySearch engineer of how to be
more productive in using the resources on FamilySearch.org.
Ben Baker
has been a senior software engineer at FamilySearch for the past 5
years. His computer education is from BYU and he currently leads an
engineering team working on Family Tree. He has also worked with
digital image processing of historical documents. He enjoys helping
others do Family History more effectively and tries to do his own. His
